Reviews

The Marina was very good. We had a 4 boat group. 3 boats were close, one boat was 2 docks away even though there were 2 slips available on the dock. I thought that would have had a welcome packet of sorts given to the boats as sakonket and onset have done in the past. Every thing was clean and orderly. Nobody checked on the group as with other Safe Harbors. But had great weather great friends and a nice time

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were very god helping us into eh slip. I loved the clean bathrooms and the terrific restaurant on site...and the band was very good. They have the easiest gas dock anywhere.

The only draw back was for some reason the marina allows people on B dock to bring their vicious pit bull and chow dogs....these dogs will eventually bite someone. The dogs are unfriendly and growl and snap when approached....it is only a matter of time

All was good, I could see myself getting a full time slip at this marina, the only thing lacking was the internet info given was not correct to log in and I got no repsonse from the dockmaster, otherwise a great stay and we will go again.

Marina Response:

Hi Alan. We would love to have you in a full-time slip here at Cowesett! Feel free to contact us at any point for more info. We also apologize that the internet information you were given was incorrect and are sorry for any inconvenience that caused you. Hope to talk to you soon!

This was my second visit to Brewers Coweeset. Both times I had excellent service by the staff. They assist with tie up and the electrical and water connections are very reliable. George leads the dock crew in a professional manner and he even offered to tow me into the slip when I had a loose water pump belt as I approached the marina. The pools and rest room facilities are clean and everyone was friendly. Great getaway. Thank you.

Very friendly staff and great facilities. We hailed the dockmaster on channel 9 and George came out in the launch and led us into our dock (this is a very large marina-- over 700 slips.) Then he and another staff helped us tie up and plug in. When we checked in at the office they gave us a welcome package with all necessary info (gate codes, wifi password, etc.) They have two pools, one at each end ("North" and "South") of the marina. There is a restaurant on site-- Chelo's-- which gets very lively (i.e. loud) at night. There is also a good pub (The Shanty) about 1/4 mile up the road (and I mean up up up a steep hill.) The town of East Greenwich has a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants-- very cute and retro!-- but is not really walking distance from the marina (about 2 miles.) You can also take your dingy to the waterfront restaurants. Very lively, friendly marina!

Overall the marina is fantastic. We would return again. very accommodating over the phone and helpful over the radio on the approach. Once the slip assignment is made over the radio you are on your own. No staff awaiting your arrival at the dock to help or inform you of the amenities or anything else. Went to find trash location and young girl sitting in a booth (not sure where office was) and she told us OH, you came in, here is your welcome bag with some books. If you don't need anyone or anything, this is the place. If you are looking for a professional "Brewer's" service, this is not the place. Again, we loved it there and would return just no staff on the docks.
